[Nfb-krafters-korner] What Crafts Are You Doing Now?

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Well, I am doing the same thing over and over, but...
 
I am making mittens.  Hobbie Lobbie got in a new supply of their "Love  
that Yarn" self striping and self patterning flower yarn.  I ordered up 25  
balls of yarn which I can get 2 or 3 pairs of mittens out of each ball 
depending  on what size I decide to knit.I have made 4 1/2 pairs of mittens so far 
and  working on my 4th skein of yarn.  I can't wait to get someone to take a  
look at them and let me know what colors and what they look like.  Forget  
asking John, he will tell me they have lines in them.  That is how he  
described some of this yarn I had gotten before.  Now my crafty friends  told me 
it was wide and thin stripes with a line of colored design  pattern.  When I 
asked if it looked like a flower, they agreed.
 
I showed my oldest son last night the pair I was working on and he wanted  
to know how I got those different stripes and zig zag design in it.  That  
one was called natural stripes.  He told me it was browns, black and  tan.  I 
wish they would tell you on their website what colors are in their  yarns.  
I don't think they have worked up swatches on the website  either.  I had 
my friend take a look at them for me before I ordered  them.  They even have 
blue camo stripes and camo stripes which I think must  be the greens and 
browns.

Your  projects all sound really cool. Could you send me the heart pattern? 
Thanks  for the newsletter suggestion.
In terms of projects for me, I am mainly am  working. On my blanket and it 
is coming along rather nicely. I hope to finish  my quilt soon. I took a 
bunch of fleese squares and hand sewed them together.  Now I have to put the 
back on. I also hope to finish my safety pin beading sun  catcher this 
weekend. I.  Also want to finish a scarf on the 24 peg loom.  On my todo list are 
the wrist warmers, snowman earrings, learning hairpin and  broomstick lace, 
knitting a dishcloth, crocheting a granny square, and the  purl afghan, if I 
didn't mention it along with learning the long  loom.
